This bra is very very comfortable. I purchased it about 6 months ago and its held up great. My only qualm is that the silhouette does minimize, but it does that by flattening your boobs out. They look flattened, and make your chest look wide. That being said if Im wearing something thicker, like a sweater I definitely grab this bra first. This is a no fuss bra.

I adore this bra. When Chantelle initial announced they were going to discontinue the bra I nearly broke down in the store crying. That they backed down on this decision due to overwhelming customer response did not surprise me.
This bra fits me perfectly. I have trouble with a lot of full coverage bras cutting in at the armpit, but this style cuts lower there while still supporting along the side. It's U shaped back also is helps keep the straps in place if you have narrower shoulders and a larger cup. I'm plus sized and definitely prefer the 3 hook vs the 2 hook band, though I've fluctuated between sizes so I've worn both.
I have found it impossible to find a bra that I love more than this one. At this point I've owned about 2 dozen Rive Gauche bras in a variety of colors over about 7 years. I've bought about a dozen other styles over that time, but none have compared to my love of Rive Gauche. I can't say that it is the perfect bra for everyone, but if it fits you right you'll never want to give it up.
My one issue as some have noted is the lace under the breast can be irritating. Especially after you've worn the bra for a while it has a tendency to roll in and can be scratchy.

I have been wearing this for a week, while on treadmill (walking fast, no running). It is completely effective in "containment" & anti-bounce. It is also very attractive. The picture is accurate -- it does reveal cleavage. (Although the picture also reflects separation, which this bra does NOT achieve.)
Please follow the sizing recommendations on the website (go up a band size & down a cup size).
This is an underwire bra. The underwire does not precisely match my personal contours. The band is also quite tight (even though I sized up). For these reasons, the bra is not 100% comfortable. But it is fine for the 1 - 3 hours that I wear it daily. I would not want to wear it all day. The straps were very adjustable -- essential for short women like me.
Altogether I am very happy with the bra, and would buy it again.
